Leviticus 13
1 Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
2 “When someone has on his skin a swelling or a rash or a shiny/bright spot that may become (contagious/a dreaded skin disease), he must be brought to Aaron or to one of his sons who are also priests.
Cuando el hombre tuviere en la piel de su carne hinchazón, o postilla, o mancha blanca, y hubiere en la piel de su carne como llaga de lepra, será traído a Aarón el sacerdote, o a uno de los sacerdotes sus hijos;
3 The priest must examine that part of the person’s skin. If the hair in that area has become white and it appears that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, it is a contagious skin disease. When the priest sees that, he must declare that the person must stay away from other people [MTY].
y el sacerdote mirará la llaga en la piel de la carne; si el pelo en la llaga se ha vuelto blanco, y pareciere la llaga más hundida que la tez de la carne, llaga de lepra es; y el sacerdote le reconocerá, y le dará por inmundo.
4 If the spot on the person’s skin is white but it does not appear that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, the priest must tell him to stay away from other people for seven days.
Y si en la piel de su carne hubiere mancha blanca, pero no pareciere más hundida que la tez, ni su pelo se hubiere vuelto blanco, entonces el sacerdote encerrará al llagado por siete días;
5 Then the priest must examine the person again. If the priest sees that the sore has not changed and has not spread, he must tell the person to stay away from people for seven more days.
y al séptimo día el sacerdote lo mirará; y si la llaga a su parecer se hubiere estancado, no habiéndose extendido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote le encerrará por siete días la segunda vez.
6 Then the priest must examine him again. If the sore has faded and has not spread, the priest will allow him to be with other people again; it is only a rash. After the person washes his clothes, he will be allowed to be with other people again.
Después el sacerdote le reconocerá al séptimo día la segunda vez; y si parece haberse oscurecido la llaga, y que no se ha extendido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo dará por limpio: era postilla; y lavará sus vestidos, y será limpio.
7 But if the sore spreads after the priest has examined him, he must go to the priest again.
Mas si hubiere ido creciendo la postilla en la piel, después que fue mostrado al sacerdote para ser limpio, será visto otra vez del sacerdote;
8 The priest will examine him; and if the sore has spread to more of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people.
y si reconociéndolo el sacerdote, ve que la postilla ha crecido en la piel, el sacerdote lo dará por inmundo: es lepra.
9 When anyone has a contagious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
Cuando hubiere llaga de lepra en el hombre, será traído al sacerdote;
10 The priest must examine him. And if there is a white swelling in the skin that has caused the hair in that swelling to become white, and if the flesh in that area is painful/sensitive,
y el sacerdote mirará, y si pareciere hinchazón blanca en la piel, el cual haya vuelto el pelo blanco, y se descubre asimismo la carne viva en la hinchazón,
11 it is a permanent skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people. The priest does not need to tell that person that he must avoid other people, because other people already are wanting to stay away from him.
lepra es envejecida en la piel de su carne; y le dará por inmundo el sacerdote, y no le encerrará, porque es inmundo.
12 ‘If the disease spreads all over someone’s body, and the priest examines that person and sees that it is covering his skin from his head to his feet,
Mas si brotare la lepra cundiendo por la piel, y la lepra cubriere toda la piel del llagado desde su cabeza hasta sus pies, a toda vista de ojos del sacerdote;
13 and it has caused all his skin to become white [which will indicate that the disease has ended], the priest will declare that the person does not have to stay away from other people.
entonces el sacerdote le reconocerá; y si la lepra hubiere cubierto toda su carne, dará por limpio al llagado; se ha vuelto toda ella blanca; y él es limpio.
14 But if the person has open sores and they are very painful/sensitive, he has a contagious skin disease,
Mas el día que apareciere en él la carne viva, será inmundo.
15 and when the priest sees that, he will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
Y el sacerdote mirará la carne viva, y lo dará por inmundo. Es inmunda la carne viva: es lepra.
16 But if the person’s flesh changes and becomes white, he must go to the priest again.
Mas cuando la carne viva se mudare y se volviere blanca, entonces vendrá al sacerdote;
17 The priest must examine him again; and if the sores have become white, the priest will declare that the person who had been infected is now permitted to be with other people again.
y el sacerdote mirará, y si la llaga se hubiere vuelto blanca, el sacerdote dará por limpio al que tenía la llaga, y él será limpio.
18 ‘Then someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,
Y cuando en la carne, en su piel, hubiere postema, y se sanare,
19 but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.
y sucediere en el lugar de la postema hinchazón blanca, o mancha blanca embermejecida, será mostrado al sacerdote;
20 The priest must examine it. And if it seems to be deeper than just on the skin, and if the hair in that spot has become white, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the boil had been. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
y el sacerdote mirará; y si pareciere estar más baja que su piel, y su pelo se hubiere vuelto blanco, lo dará el sacerdote por inmundo; es llaga de lepra que se originó en la postema.
21 But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin and has become less bright/shiny, then the priest will order him to stay away from other people for seven days.
Y si el sacerdote la considerare, y no pareciere en ella pelo blanco, ni estuviere más baja que la piel, sino oscura, entonces el sacerdote lo encerrará por siete días;
22 But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
y si se fuere extendiendo por la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo dará por inmundo: es llaga.
23 But if that spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
Pero si la mancha blanca se estuviere en su lugar, que no haya cundido, es la costra de la postema; y el sacerdote lo dará por limpio.
24 ‘Then someone has a burn on his skin and a bright/shiny or white spot appears, and the flesh in that area is sensitive/painful,
Asimismo cuando la carne tuviere en su piel quemadura de fuego, y hubiere en lo sanado del fuego mancha blanquecina, bermejiza o blanca,
25 the priest must examine the spot. If the hair in that spot has turned white and it seems to be deeper than just on the surface of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the burn was, and that person must stay away from other people.
el sacerdote la mirará; y si el pelo se hubiere vuelto blanco en la mancha, y pareciere estar más hundida que la piel, es lepra que salió en la quemadura; y el sacerdote lo dará por inmundo; llaga de lepra es.
26 But when the priest examines it and sees that there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin, and has faded, the priest will declare that the person must stay away from people for seven days.
Mas si el sacerdote la mirare, y no pareciere en la mancha pelo blanco, ni estuviere más baja que la tez, sino que está oscura, le encerrará el sacerdote por siete días;
27 On the seventh day, the priest will examine him again. If the sore is spreading, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
y al séptimo día el sacerdote la reconocerá; si se hubiere ido extendiendo por la piel, el sacerdote lo dará por inmundo; es llaga de lepra.
28 However, if the spot is not changed and has not spread but has faded, it is only a scar from the burn, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
Pero si la mancha se estuviere en su lugar, y no se hubiere extendido en la piel, sino que está oscura, hinchazón es de la quemadura; lo dará el sacerdote por limpio; que señal de la quemadura es.
29 ‘If a man or a woman has a sore on his head or on his chin,
Y al hombre o mujer que le saliere llaga en la cabeza, o en la barba,
30 the priest must examine it. If it appears to be deeper than [just on the surface of] the skin, and the hair in that spot has thinned out and has become yellowish, it is a contagious skin disease that causes itching. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
el sacerdote mirará la llaga; y si pareciere estar más profunda que la tez, y el pelo en ella fuera rubio y adelgazado, entonces el sacerdote lo dará por inmundo; es tiña, es lepra de la cabeza o de la barba.
31 But when the priest examines that kind of sore, if it seems to be only on the surface of the skin and there is no healthy hair in it, the priest will tell the person to stay away from other people for seven days.
Mas cuando el sacerdote hubiere mirado la llaga de la tiña, y no pareciere estar más profunda que la tez, ni fuere en ella pelo negro, el sacerdote encerrará al llagado de la tiña por siete días;
32 On the seventh day, the priest will examine the sore again. If it has not spread and if there is no yellow hair in that spot and if it appears to be only on the surface of the skin,
y al séptimo día el sacerdote mirará la llaga; y si la tiña no pareciere haberse extendido, ni hubiere en ella pelo rubio, ni pareciere la tiña más profunda que la tez,
33 the person must shave the hair near the sore but not the hair on the sore. And the priest will tell him to stay away from other people for seven more days.
entonces lo trasquilarán, mas no trasquilarán el lugar de la tiña; y encerrará el sacerdote al que tiene la tiña por siete días la segunda vez.
34 On the seventh day, the priest will examine that spot again. If it has not spread and it appears to be only on the surface of the skin, the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with people again. The person must wash his clothes, and then he can be with other people.
Y al séptimo día mirará el sacerdote la tiña; y si la tiña no hubiere cundido en la piel, ni pareciere estar más profunda que la tez, el sacerdote lo dará por limpio; y lavará sus vestidos, y será limpio.
35 But if the sore later spreads,
Pero si la tiña se hubiere ido extendiendo en la piel después de su purificación,
36 the priest must examine him again. If the itch/sore has spread, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair, because it is clear that the person has a contagious skin disease.
entonces el sacerdote la mirará; y si la tiña hubiere cundido en la piel, no busque el sacerdote el pelo rubio, es inmundo.
37 However, if the priest thinks that the spot has not changed, and healthy hair is growing in that area, it is clear that the itch has healed, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
Mas si le pareciere que la tiña está, y que ha salido en ella el pelo negro, la tiña está sanada; él está limpio, y por limpio lo dará el sacerdote.
38 ‘Then a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
Asimismo el hombre o mujer, cuando en la piel de su carne tuviere manchas, manchas blancas,
39 the priest should examine them. But if the spots are dull white, it is only a rash, and [the priest will declare that] the person is permitted to be with other people.
el sacerdote mirará: y si en la piel de su carne parecieren manchas blancas algo oscurecidas, es empeine que brotó en la piel, está limpia la persona.
40 ‘If a man loses the hair on any part of his head, he does not need to stay away from other people.
Y el varón, cuando se le pelare la cabeza, es calvo, mas limpio.
Y si a la parte de su rostro se le pelare la cabeza, es calvo por delante, pero limpio.
42 But if he gets a bright/shiny sore on his bald head or on his forehead, he has a contagious skin disease.
Mas cuando en la calva o en la antecalva hubiere llaga blanca bermeja, lepra es que brota en su calva o en su antecalva.
43 The priest must examine him. If the swollen sore is a bright spot like [the spot on someone who has] a contagious skin disease,
Entonces el sacerdote lo mirará, y si pareciere la hinchazón de la llaga blanca bermeja en su calva o en su antecalva, como el parecer de la lepra de la tez de la carne,
44 the priest will declare that the man has a contagious skin disease and must not be with other people.
leproso es, es inmundo; el sacerdote lo dará luego por inmundo; en su cabeza tiene su llaga.
45 ‘Anyone who has a contagious skin disease must wear torn clothes and not comb his hair. [When he is near other people], he must cover the lower part to his face and call out, “Do not come near me! I have a contagious skin disease!”
Y el leproso en quien hubiere tal llaga, sus vestidos serán deshechos y su cabeza descubierta, y embozado pregonará: ¡Inmundo! ¡Inmundo!
46 He is not allowed to be with other people as long as he has the disease. He must live alone, outside the camp.’”
Todo el tiempo que la llaga estuviere en él, será inmundo; estará impuro: habitará solo; fuera del real será su morada.
47 “Sometimes a person’s clothing gets mildew on it. It may be clothing that is woven from wool or made from linen or from leather.
Y cuando en el vestido hubiere plaga de lepra, en vestido de lana, o en vestido de lino;
o en estambre, o en trama de lino, o de lana, o en piel, o en cualquiera obra de piel;
49 If the contaminated/mildewed part is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.
y que la plaga sea verde, o bermeja, en vestido o en piel, o en estambre, o en trama, o en cualquiera obra de piel; plaga es de lepra, y se ha de mostrar al sacerdote.
50 The priest will examine it, and then put it in a separate place by itself for seven days.
Y el sacerdote mirará la plaga, y encerrará la cosa plagada por siete días.
51 On the seventh day he must examine it again. If the mildew has spread, it is clear that it is a type of mildew that destroys clothing, and that clothing must not be worn again.
Y al séptimo día mirará la plaga; y si hubiere cundido la plaga en el vestido, o estambre, o en la trama, o en piel, o en cualquiera obra que se hace de pieles, lepra roedora es la plaga; inmunda será.
52 The owner must burn completely the item that has the mildew in it, whatever kind of item it is.
Será quemado el vestido, o estambre o trama, de lana o de lino, o cualquiera obra de pieles en que hubiere tal plaga; porque lepra roedora es; al fuego será quemada.
53 But when the priest examines it, if the mildew has not spread,
Y si el sacerdote mirare, y no pareciere que la plaga se haya extendido en el vestido, o estambre, o en la trama, o en cualquiera obra de pieles;
54 he will tell the person [who owns it] to wash it. Then he must put it in a separate place for another seven days.
entonces el sacerdote mandará que laven donde está la plaga, y lo encerrará otra vez por siete días.
55 Then the priest will examine it again. If the color of the mildew has not changed, even though it has not spread, that item must not be worn again. It does not matter if the mildew is on the inside of the clothing or on the outside; it must be burned.
Y el sacerdote mirará después que la plaga fuere lavada; y si pareciere que la plaga no ha mudado su aspecto, bien que no haya cundido la plaga, inmunda es; la quemarás al fuego; corrosión es penetrante, esté lo raído en la faz o en el revés de aquella cosa.
56 But when the priest examines it [after it has been washed], if the mildew has faded, he must tear out that part that had the mildew in it.
Mas si el sacerdote la viere, y pareciere que la plaga se ha oscurecido después que fue lavada, la cortará del vestido, o de la piel, o del estambre, o de la trama.
57 But if the mildew reappears in that item, it is clear that it is spreading, and the whole item must be burned.
Y si apareciere más en el vestido, o estambre, o trama, o en cualquiera cosa de pieles, reverdeciendo en ella, quemarás al fuego aquello donde estuviere la plaga.
58 But after the clothing is washed and the mildew disappears, it must be washed again, and then it can be worn again.
Pero el vestido, o estambre, o trama, o cualquiera cosa de piel que lavares, y que se le quitare la plaga, se lavará la segunda vez, y entonces será limpia.
59 Those are the regulations concerning mildew on things made of wool or linen or leather, for deciding whether those things can continue to be worn or not.”
Esta es la ley de la plaga de la lepra del vestido de lana o de lino, o del estambre, o de la trama, o de cualquiera cosa de piel, para que sea dada por limpia o por inmunda.
